Buy Brain Quest for Threes, Revised 4th Edition

Customer Ratings:

I use this with my 3 year old and it is amazing how smart she is and how this teaches kids to be observant. This is NOT a self teaching game. It is for parents that want to work with their children. You ask them questions about a picture, such as what color, or letter, or whats wrong, or which picture is different from the others. I really enjoy learning games that I can play with my children and this is one of them. The game is sturdy and there are like 300 questions. so there is a lot to go through with your kids. they come bound together is such a way that you can look at all the questions easily, but dont have a big mess to clean up later.

pros

good teaching game

sturdy

comes with answer cards to show your kids after

a lot of questions

good binding

I played with these as a child, but they're long gone. I remember no "official" teaching with them, but just naturally discovering trains, sequence, etc.

I bought these for my children, partially because I wanted to make sure we had plenty of extras. I do *not* think one set is really enough for one child.

One of the things I remember from my childhood set was that each color had its own compartment. Part of the fun was switching the compartments around, and figuring out what patterns you could fit in the same spaces. This set does NOT offer that opportunity, and it does NOT fit neatly back into the box as pictured. They end up vaguely piled in the box like the bulk lego bin.

All said, though, I'm glad I bought them. I think three sets will stay at our house, and three will be gifts.

Reviews of Twist & Shout Multiplication

Customer Ratings:

I bought this for my daughter when she turned 5. She learned a lot from this game and it was educational without being forced and boring. Now that she is 8, she doesn't need it anymore, but it still works great and my two sons (3 and 2) love playing with this, even though they are too young to understand the concept, but it's nice for them to hear "4 times 4 = 16" or whatever, just so they are familiar with it when they get ready for multiplication. It has been dropped countless times and it's still good as new. What's up with the price on this though? This seller is really selling it for $67?? I think I got mine for less than $10 a few years ago. Don't blame inflation, that's ridiculous.

I bought 2 of these for friends' children for christmas... We had a blast together making the icky gooey things. However, the kids also really enjoyed the instruction/informational booklet expaining what everything is. By the end, even the adults were sitting around playing with yuck and learning about the things we were making. For such a low price, this kit was definitely worth it, and it comes with enough to make the gross items again and again.

My son has had tons of fun playing with this "science" kit. However, I'm not sure he has actually *learned* anything about science. He made fake snot and gooey crystals and religiously changed the water in his bucket out daily to make the body parts grow larger, so the entertainment factor is definitely there. But teaching material it is not.

Reviews of Wooden Trebuchet Kit

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $25.00
Sale Price: $24.95
Today's Bonus: $0.05 Off

I'm still fine tuning this model. In the out of the box and assembled configuration the ball does not launch. The arm swings around with an impressive whip-like speed, then the ball just falls out of the vinyl sling on to the table and rolls away. I'll keep playing with it to see if I can get it to work.

Incidentally the one I received did not come with instructions, but they are available on the manufacturer website. The wood also needed sanded and the holes re-bored to fit the dowels on the pivot arms, and bushings to make the dowels snug on the basket arms.

ADDENDUM After some tinkering, improved results have been obtained. Some photos of this item show a small slit in the sling near the throwing arm, that allow the eye-ring trigger loop to pass through the sling, allowing the sling to lay flat. After adding this slit, and insuring that it is wide enough to not impede the release of the sling strap when firing, the sling releases correctly, and the projectile launches instead of falling on the table.

When using fishing sinkers for the counterweight basket, a 2.5 cm ball bearing(aka a Pinball) will leave a 5mm dent in a plaster wall. Excellent.

My 11 yr old son built this by himself with minimal assistance from me (I worked the clamps). Very sturdy construction. And a great price. Highly recommend.

Best Deals for Wooden Trebuchet Kit

The combination of no instructions and parts that *almost* fit together will leave an 10 year old frustrated. So rule out a feel-good build for a young one. I cant help but think adding an 6 extra 3/4' length dowels and pre drilling the joints would have allowed the tower to be assembled and glued at once, instead of butting diagonal sticks together that defy clamping (I ended up drilling and screwing with wood screws so we only had one drying session).

Imagine trying to glue the ends to form the plywood ballast box just by butting them together as suggested by the instructions when the pieces aren't the correct size. And the holes for the dowels that need to be glued are drilled too large and result in crooked pivots for the ballast box and throwing arm.

Cool idea, but free yourself from the idea of a kit and assemble your own. If there is some secret inherent in this design, it is overshadowed by the poor fitment and less than elegant joints that defy glue alone.

Honest reviews on Wooden Trebuchet Kit

The kit goes together well and yes, it works and boy does it work. Although they provide a small rubber ball to hurl, i've launched just about anything and everything that will fit in the sling. I bought this for my office shelf thinking it would be an interesting conversational piece but my employees and I have found ourselves taking a break by deciding on new things to chuck across the room. It's been launching office supplies for well over 4 months and it's held up perfectly.

Nice product here. My 9-yr old son and I built it in two sessions (to let the glue dry), and we really love it. Unlike the catapult we built, this is sturdy. The design is inherently durable because the throwing action does not exert high forces on the arm, unlike the catapult where the throwing arm tends to break against the wooden crossbar. I ultimately took this design and scaled it up by 3 times. Just have to get the right strength of cross member holding the throwing arm. Very hapy with this product from Amazon.

I bought this game for my three year old even though the package said it was for a four year old. She is advanced for her age so I thought she would do well with it. Unfortunately she will not let me show her how to use the control. She will play along with me as I play the game but then gets frustrated and wants to try her self and that creates more frustration. I think it will be great for year in about six months or so. The one thing I did not like was that since it was titled V-motion and the package stated it would be more physically interactive I expected just that. Unfortunately it is not as physically interactive as I would have hoped.

Best TV Rock - Ulexite Deals

Customer Ratings:

Fun novelty toy but breaks very easily as it is a soft mineral. I also was not happy that the item was not completely translucent due to impurities. Because of this, you could kind of see words appearing on the surface but it definitely had a large effect on the clarity. Because the quality of the product is questionable I would most likely not buy this product again.

I had another one from a rock store that was beautifully clear, and my daughter dropped it and it broke into many pieces. This one was about the same price (with shipping) and you can barely see through it all. Disappointing.

OK, it's a rock. It has some cool properties. It is pretty much as described. And it's less than five bucks. If you are expecting a gadget to save the world or solve all your problems, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you want something small & cool that fits in your pocket and will engage a kid for a few minutes, or start a conversation, you really can't go wrong.

Buy Playskool Made For Me Mp3 Music Player

Customer Ratings:

We bought this for our 3 year old son. He loves it. The software is super easy to use. My Son's attention span isn't as long as the amount of music this can hold. My only complaint is the voice record feature. It is one button on the mp3 player and if your child pushes it it will record automaticly. Any and all sound including interference from other electronic devices. Makes a terrible sound. You then have to plug the MP3 into your computer to erase all the files recorded via the voice record button. Also, these voice record files land under the favorites category. This is the first category that comes on whenever you turn on the unit. A possible way to avoid this is to fill up the MP3 as much as you can so there is no room for recording. However it is hard to find that exact golden number so that you have 000 MBs/KBs left. I have yet to hit that nail on the head. Aside from this one long winded complaint I would reccomend this unit even though it is a bit $$.

We received this item as a gift and were excited to put our baby's favorite (or hopefully favorite to be) music on it. We liked the idea of hanging it in the crib and then as she grew she could tote it around and push the buttons herself. We could also change the music as she grew from Baby Einstein to Laurie Berkner to whatever comes after that. We opened it and played with the pre-recorded music, of which most is pretty good. We then decided to open the software and found that it didn't work on a Mac. We do not own a PC and now have no way to put any new music on the player. We had thrown away the box and didn't get a gift receipt with it anyway and so couldn't return. Just be aware if you purchase this you have to have a PC to run the software. It doesn't say this anywhere in the description of the product.

Our baby has enjoyed this player since she received it as a gift (at about 2 months of age). She loves the music and the lights. There are some drawbacks. First, we did experience some technical difficulties and had to return the original for a replacement. So far the replacement is working nicely. Second, it is important to note that music purchased from i-tunes will not play on this windows-based product because the i-tunes files are "protected." We have successfully played the songs it came with. Among the songs that come with the MP3 unit, we very much enjoy the "playtime" songlist, but don't particularly care for most of the songs on the "soothing" playlist (because the woman's voice is too playful sounding for bedtime). However, we ripped our own CDs and put our own soothing music on the player and it works great... biggest drawback is just the i-tunes situation because we rarely purchase CDs anymore.

Honest reviews on Playskool Made For Me Mp3 Music Player

First of all, I have to say I love the idea for this toy. My kids love being in charge of their music and this is much nicer than having them run around with my expensive iPod. I can't speak to the durability yet, but hopefully it will stand up to them.

As for the reviews from Mac users who were disappointed that the software is only pc compatible: true. But you don't need the software to make this work. I plugged in the mp3 player with the included cord and my Mac treated it like a flash drive. Open it up, find the folders and copy music from your folders right in. No problem at alland I'm not that computer savvy. Personally, I'd rather do it this way anyway than deal with their software interface. This was just a simple drag and drop (make sure you aren't dragging whole folders though as nested folders won't play). Music sounds great and I can't wait to see the boys play with this!

Prior to buying I've read some other reviews on this site, some of which filled me with doubts. At the end I decided to give it a go. Now I can tell you this was the coolest thing I could get my daughter for her 2nd birthday. She takes it everywhere with her and plays with it every single day (maybe not so good for parents, but what can we do...). We found the cover described in some other reviews as "strange" simply nice and funny. It is also OK to use the toy without it. My daughter learned all the controls in a day or two (this includes the ones on the back for switching the playlist and playtime), so no problem there. The player can go from very quiet to surprisingly loud and still play very well.

Someone was also mentioning it plays only one song at the time. There are four modes of play single song (you must press the play button after every song), some 20-odd minutes (don't remember exactly) and the whole playlist. There is also a shuffle mode. And, it comes with probably all the good old classics, such as Twinkle twinkle little star, etc., so you don't need to be getting those on CD...

There is some CD with some software for your PC, which I chose not to use and simply uploaded the songs to the card to the specific directory, which seems to be working as well. Only one negative point, the memory card is relatively small (128MB/2hours), my daughter's music collection is already much bigger :))) Maybe someone could think of a version which takes interchangeable SD card or similar...

This is a cool idea and a cool toy for any child who loves music. What I don't understand is why this is the only such toy on the market???

Discount Timed Math Drills: Subtraction; no. REM502

Customer Ratings:

If your child is subject to timed drills, this is the perfect practice book. I tried the on-line ones, but they were either too short, too easy, not well-balanced in terms of problems or whatever. This book has drills organized by number (-1, -2, etc.), by groupings of numbers, up to the ones that go through all numbers that are found on these tests. They have really helped my daughter prepare for her timed drills at school.

The only downside is that I wish there were more pages. Other than that, this is a great product.
